Evans has a great record of service, deserves re-election

House District 20 Rep. Paul Evans has worked diligently to improve services for veterans, health care access for women and the economic climate for small businesses.

He is working to decrease class sizes for K-12 students and to end the soaring costs of college tuition. He has held informative town halls regarding small businesses, veterans’ issues and education throughout the district all year.

That is why I find the recent TV ad by his opponent so vexing. She has misrepresented his record.

That she has gone negative so early, without really making a case for why anyone should vote for her, reveals that she is unprepared to serve in office and is desperate to smear Paul rather than run on her non-existent record.

Political wannabes should be held to a higher standard.

As a previous candidate for HD 20, I feel that Paul Evans is the candidate who will best serve the people of Oregon and HD 20.
